After committing a thousand perfect crimes, he joined criminal investigation

Chapter 7 Suicide? Nonsense!
  On June 2007, 6, at 16:6 a.m., a female body was found near the river kilometers away from Houcun.

The remains were found on the south bank of the river. The river is no more than knee-deep. A large amount of corn is planted on both sides of the river and on the tidal flats.

In addition, the body was about ten meters away from the cornfield by the river. Within this distance, the police found two fire points, one large and one small.

In a smaller burning area, about 8 meters away from the body, the police found some burnt pieces of clothing.

Two meters away from the small area is a larger burning area. Here, the police found a large number of burnt pieces of clothing, and a red high-heeled sandal not far away.

The shoes are relatively new and the size matches the body's foot length.

Under the leadership of Wang Gang, the police found many shoe prints of high-heeled sandals in the cornfield.

The shoe print shows a lingering look.

Following the shoe prints, the police found another one in a tidal flat.

After searching, similar shoe prints were found on the opposite side of the river bank.

The situation is roughly like this~
  After that, Wang Gang quickly sent the body to the municipal bureau for forensic identification.

After preliminary identification by the forensic doctor, the deceased was a woman in her 30s, with 90% of the burn area, and the facial burns were particularly severe.

In addition, no traces of hitting with a sharp instrument were found, the skin on the neck was peeled off, the excessive use of hands was not serious, and soot and charcoal powder were found in the nose, mouth, and throat.

Based on this report, the police concluded that the deceased most likely committed suicide.

The process goes something like this——

The deceased first set himself on fire next to the cornfield, struggling painfully under the burning, and then there was a second small fire point.

During this period, out of survival instinct, the deceased wanted to run to the river to extinguish the fire on his body.

But in the end, he was burned alive one meter away from the river.

Judging from the current situation of the investigation, it is likely that the case will eventually be closed as a suicide.

"To say suicide is a bit nonsense!"

At the end, Gao Yi couldn't help but complain.

Hearing this, Chen Leer smiled and took back the file: "Why, you wouldn't say that the body was a homicide, right?"

It is clearly written in the case file that the deceased had no external injuries.

Moreover, no traces of fighting were found around the burning area. So what if it wasn't suicide?
  Gao Yi disagreed with this. His eyes fell on the file and he vowed:
  “There are many ways to commit suicide, hanging, taking poison.

If the woman wanted to commit suicide, wouldn't the easiest thing be to jump into the river?
  Why use such a cruel and extreme method? "

"This……"

The joking smile on Chen Leer's face gradually faded, her brows furrowed slightly, and she fell into deep thought.

Yes~
  Self-immolation, what a tragic way of committing suicide?

“The information said that the woman was wearing a pair of high-heeled sandals, and fragments of floral clothing were found at the two burning sites in front of her.

It shows that a woman is a person who loves beauty and at least pays attention to image.

How could such a person commit suicide by setting himself on fire? "

Gao Yi just thought of it as a casual chat at the moment, discussing his ideas with his colleagues, so he didn't care about anything.

But what he didn't notice was that Wang Gang was standing not far behind him, looking at this side with burning eyes.

"really."

At the desk, Chen Leer pondered for two seconds and nodded: "The deceased was so badly burned that he couldn't even identify his identity. It's too tragic!"

"But this does not mean that the deceased was a homicide~"

Facing Chen Leer's inquiry, Gao Yi asked lightly:
  "If it's suicide, where are the gasoline barrels?"

How much gasoline does it cost to burn an adult beyond recognition?

A mineral water bottle is definitely not enough.

So, what about the container for gasoline?

Gao Yi read the file, but found no records about the container.

It means that nothing was found at the scene.

"This..." Chen Leer frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Is it possible that it floated away along the current?"

"It's possible." Gao Yi nodded and pointed to the file: "Unfortunately, there was no test on the speed of the water flow next to the burned corpse, nor was there any local meteorological information on the day of the self-immolation."

If the wind is strong that day, the container may be blown into the river and eventually float away along the current.

“But what if there’s just no container?”

Gao Yi said again.

It's like he designed a perfect crime, no tiny details can be ambiguous, no loopholes can be left.

Always ask yourself “what if” in everything~
  "Xiao Gao, have you studied this case before?"

At this moment, Chen Leer's eyes flickered and she looked at Gao Yi in disbelief.

The tragic method of self-immolation...gasoline barrels...even the speed of water flow and wind speed were taken into consideration.

Did he really just think of this after reading the dossier?

"I have heard about this case before, but I just learned about the details after reading the information."

Gao Yi answered honestly.

But these words sounded like thunder to Chen Leer, making her heart uneasy.

"Hahaha, don't treat Xiao Gao as a newcomer~" Seeing this scene, Wang Gang finally moved to Gao Yi and patted his shoulder with satisfaction:

"In this double-secret-room murder case, our Xiao Gao just went to the scene and analyzed the murderer when he came back!"

After saying this, Gao Yi changed the subject:
  "Regarding the self-immolation case, I listened to your analysis just now. It makes sense."

"Any more? Tell me and listen."

Judging from the clues currently available, the deceased has a high probability of committing suicide.

At this point, it is impossible for them to focus all their energy on this case and ignore other things.

Therefore, if there are no breakthrough clues, the case can only be temporarily closed as a "suicide".

Or if you really have doubts but can't find any clues, you will choose to shelve it.

Gao Yi shook his head:

"There are too few clues in the case, and I just think the manner of death of the deceased is suspicious."

But the "suspicious" aspect is enough to support the police investigation.

You know, when he was simulating crimes, the police followed "suspicious" points and often caused him to stumble.

"But I think that as long as the murderer is not specially trained to kill perfectly, there will definitely be clues left."

Gao Yi said again.

Just like when he first started "committing crimes", there were flaws everywhere.

It was precisely because of being discovered again and again that Gao Yi was able to complete perfect crimes without any flaws in the later stages.

This requires a process.

On the side, looking at Gao Yi who looked serious, Wang Gang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you want to try this case?"

"If Captain Wang dares to hand over this case to me, I will definitely take it."

Gao Yi readily agreed without even thinking about it.

To be honest, he was very curious about the truth of this case~
  "it is good!"

Seeing Gao Yi's determination, Wang Gang was also happy, but then he said:
  "I'll give you three days. If there are no new clues in three days, the case will be closed with suicide."

"no problem."

Gao Yi readily agreed again.

Three days, with his ability, if he still can't find the key clues, it can only mean that the deceased really committed suicide!

"Good boy, you have courage, I like him!"

Seeing the confident Gao Yi, Wang Gang couldn't close his mouth and kept praising him.

But then, Wang Gang waved his hand:

"The corpse-burning case will be investigated tomorrow. Please accompany me to Team Stone's office now~"
